That sounds great but the question is:
Should the US run a counterterrorism operation or a counterinsurgency operation.
After you have decided which type of mission you plan to implement, then you can "get the job done of winning".
If you decide to go the counterinsurgency route, you are going to need a lot more troops, and you will have to accept a lot more deaths because there will be many "operating outside the wire", in smaller units, and in remote locations. But if that is what you, Cheney, and McKrystal want, go for it.
Our “leaders “ have us in a war.
If you send Americans to war you had best have a plan for winning BEFORE you go in.
Seems obozo is dithering, trying to placate his very liberal base and not wanting to look even weaker.
Also his rules of engagement are a ajoke for service members getting shot at.
All ready doing the Counter terrorist gig, it what General McCrystal is saying is failing.
But if you, Obama and Biden what to keep failing and getting Americans troops killed for nothing, keep assuming you know more 9,000 miles away then the guy on the ground does.
When General McCrystal calls you asking for your advice, let us know otherwise don't bother us with your ignorant Freeper General postings.
Screaming your ignorant slogans louder and louder does not magically change your ignorance to wisdom. It merely exposes your stupidity to a larger and larger audience.
I take the opinions of the guys on the ground seriously. I do not take seriously the ignorant slogan shouting of self appointed never been anything Freeper Generals.
The people on the ground are saying your dogma is wrong.
You are 9000 miles away. You have no background or experience in Counter Insurgency. Just because “Run away” fits in with your habitual Neo Isolationist political dogma, does not mean you have the slightest hint of a clue of what is, or is not, a correct strategy.
The fact that you routinely strain out all facts that do not fit your knee jerk Neo Isolationist dogmas indicates you are even LESS fit to comment on this topic then most people.
The people on the ground are professionals, you are just some anonymous jerk with an attitude and a computer. The notion that anyone should listen to your ignorant opinions over their professional assessment is absurd and laughable.
